       I got this report and photo from Steve Brott:"This man, Jody Stover, had invited several people out to join him this past week. He enjoyed helping his fellow fisherman get out on the water and just fish.

He had minimal success early in the week but was rewarded with some nice fish for a Monday morning.

Thank you Jody for getting me out on the water, I am happy you put some in the box, it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy."  True this. Jody is a great guy, but even good people can have a hard time catching halibut, especially when they aren't biting. And they aren't biting. Fishing sucks, and catching sucks worse. Jody and his fishing partners this week had a hard time. Over a week, all I heard of was the one halibut caught by the partner. It is good to hear that on the final day he caught two and his partner caught one. Good for you, Jody. You deserve it. Better than that, you earned it, over the week of fishing.

Hey willie, was out there yesterday just about all day till the wind blew me off the bay not even a scratch will be camping at Lawson's next week for 4 days on our annual fishing/camping trip and watching the reports looks like the fishing has been really off this year, did the bay just get to slammed over the past few years?

Good job buddy! Glad you found some out there. It’s been a grind most of the year! Nice fish! 🤙🏻

Do tsunami usually bring in more Halibut? Asking for a friend! How well did Lawsons Landing fare?

Tsunamis usually don't help the bite. The sloshing around is weird. The currents were strange for a day but that was the only effect.
